“Innovative storytelling and breathtaking dance.”
Julianna Rubio Slager’s world premiere of The Space in Between brings the novel The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis to life. The dancers tell this thought-provoking story of passengers on a bus ride between heaven and hell. Through colorful costuming and masterful athleticism, this ballet enchants the eye and mind with the possibilities in the afterlife.
